FOREWORD 

The Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Washington State Society, 
Sons of the American Revolution, held in Seattle February 23, 1914, 
adopted the following recommendation: 

"Your Committee on Year Book recommend that a book be 
compiled and published by February 22, 1915, if possible, costing 
not to exceed two hundred dollars for three hundred copies, unless 
an additional reasonable amount be granted by the Board of Man- 
agers ; 

"That said compilation and publication be under the direction 
of a Committee composed of the Secretary, Registrar and Historian; 

"That each member of this Society be entitled to one copy of 
said book free of cost; 

"And that the Board of Managers be authorized to dispose of 
the remaining books to such persons, institutions and Sons of the 
American Revolution Societies as it may deem advisable." 

The Publication Committee was directed by the Board of Managers 
(meeting January 19, 1915) to extend this Register such time after 
February 22, 1915, as should be necessary to properly complete it; 

To print four hundred copies, and to draw on the Treasurer for 
such funds as might be required therefor (meeting December 21, 1915) ; 

And to include in this Register the names of all applicants for 
membership approved to and including April 19, 1916 (meeting April 
11, 1916). 

Guided by the foregoing instructions, and desirous of completing 
the work as early as possible, with accuracy and brevity, the Com- 
mittee feels that the Year Book now presented to the Society will be 
of value to the members at large, and will supply a record so complete 
as to be authoritative in the publication of any subsequent Register. 

The Committee desires to thank all members of the Society who 
have so kindly given of their time and energy in the preparation of 
this book. 

PUBLICATION COMMITTEE. 



WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 



THE NATIONAL SOCIETY 

Organized April 30, 1889. 
Incorporated by Act of Congress June 9, 1906. 

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revo- 
lution is composed substantially of the State Societies of the 
Sons of the American Revolution. With the exception of the 
Society of Cincinnati, prior to 187G no concerted attempt had 
been made looking toward the gathering together of the 
descendants of the Revolutionary patriots. The Centennial 
Exposition held at Philadelphia in 1876, and the patriotic 
sentiment aroused by the coming together of the American 
people at that gathering led to some interest in forming 
some organization. But it was in California that the first 
organization of this kind was definitely established. A so- 
ciety known as the Sons of Revolutionary Sires had been 
formed by the citizens of San Francisco under the leader- 
ship of Dr. John L. Cogswell in October, 1875, and on the 
4th of July, 1876, the society took part in the public proces- 
sion celebrating that day, and thus attention was called to 
the society. The progress of the society was very slow for a 
number of years. 

A few years later, in New York, a society was founded 
which was called Sons of the Revolution. It is probably not 
necessary to take up in this sketch any history of the attempt 
to unite the two societies known as Sons of the Revolution 
and Sons of the American Revolution. 

For some years the societies, which, in 1889, were united 
under the title Sons of the American Revolution had as their 
distinguishing mark the requirement that their members 
should be lineal descendants of persons who took an active 
part in the American Revolution, while the society known as 
the Sons of the Revolution permitted collateral descendants 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 7 

of soldiers and patriots who left no lineal descendants to 
become members. 

On April 30th, 1889, representatives of nine of the State 
Societies met in Fraunces' Tavern, in New York City, and 
formed a union and this is regarded as the beginning of the 
National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. 
The formation of a National Society seemed to give new life 
to the organization, and from that day the advance has been 
rapid, until now we have a society in nearly all of the States 
of the Union and in the District of Columbia and the Terri- 
tory of Hawaii. There is also a society in France and one 
in the Philippine Islands. The report of the Registrar Gen- 
eral to the Syracuse Congress in 1914 showed an active mem- 
bership of 13,178, with an increase during the year previous 
of 1,110. 

Our Year Book is not the place for setting forth the 
things that the Society has accomplished. It is sufficient to 
say that it is taking a leading part in the patriotic achieve- 
ments of the day, and if the energetic work of our National 
Society is seconded by the State Societies, material for fu- 
ture historians of our country will be well preserved in our 
National Library at Washington. 



WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 



OBJECTS AND PURPOSES. 

"The purposes and objects of this Society are declared to be patri- 
otic, historical, and educational, and shall include those intended or 
designed to perpetuate the memory of the men who, by their services 
or sacrifices during the war of the American Revolution, achieved the 
independence of the American people; to unite and promote fellowship 
among their descendants; to inspire them and the community at large 
with a more profound reverence for the principles of the Government 
founded by our forefathers; to encourage historical research in rela- 
tion to the American Revolution; to acquire and preserve the records 
of the individual services of the patriots of the war, as well as docu- 
ments, relics, and landmarks; to mark the scenes of the Revolution by 
appropriate memorials; to celebrate the anniversaries of the prominent 
events of the war and of the Revolutionary period; to foster true patri- 
otism; to maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, 
and to carry out the purposes expressed in the preamble of the Consti- 
tution of our country and the injunctions of Washington in his fare- 
well address to the American people." — Article II, Constitution ofl the 
National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. 



QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP 

"Any man shall be eligible to membership in the Society who, 
being of the age of twenty-one years or over, and a citizen of good 
repute in the community, is the lineal descendant of an ancestor who 
was at all times unfailing in his loyalty to, and rendered active service 
in, the cause of American independence, either as an officer, soldier, 
seaman, marine, militiaman or minute man, in the armed forces of 
the Continental Congress, or of any one of the several Colonies or 
States, or as a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, or as a 
member of a Committee of Safety or Correspondence, or as a member 
of any Continental, Provincial, or Colonial Congress or Legislature, or 
as a recognized patriot who performed actual service by overt acts of 
resistance to ■ the authority of Great Britain." — Section 1, Article III, 
Constitution of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revo- 
lution. 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 9 

REASONS FOR MEMBERSHIP. 

1. The Society of the Sons of the American Revolution encourages 
public interest in the men, events and objects of the Revolutionary war. 

2. It seeks to cultivate the ideal of disinterested service to the 
nation. 

3. It preserves for future generations the genealogy of members 
as far back as the Revolutionary period, rendering less difficult and 
more accurate the task of the historian. 

Membership in this Society insures the preservation of two sets of 
every record filed — one by the State Registrar, and one by the Registrar 
General at Washington, D. C. 

4. It aims to inculcate in its members and their families lessons 
of good citizenship drawn from the heroism and self-sacrifice of their 
own ancestors. 

5. By celebrating the important events of the Revolution it re- 
calls to memory the objects of that struggle and the principles for 
which our forefathers fought, especially as embodied in the Declara- 
tion of Independence. 

6. It engages in the marking of battlefields, routes of march and 
historic sites, by monuments and tablets, and in the preservation of 
historic buildings from decay. 

7. It would promote the celebration of other important civic 
events, as the admission of new states, and momentous occurrences in 
state and local history, and the marking of places of historic interest. 

8. It holds as one of its most important functions the work of 
preserving and preparing for public use the priceless documents, letters 
and other relics of the Revolutionary era. 

9. By means of leaflets and books, lecturers and teachers, in a 
language and in a form intelligible to the millions of our fellow citi- 
zens of foreign birth, it diffuses among them a better understanding of 
the principles of free government and a greater love for their adopted 
country, making them more worthy members of the body politic. 

10. It spans the chasm between the eighteenth and the twentieth 
centuries by teaching the true relation between the great events of the 
Revolutionary period and the equally significant events and movements 
of the present. 

It demonstrates the worth of independence in thought and of 
courage in action today, in the progress of our evolving civilization, 
through the illustrious example of the liberty-loving generation of 
1776, which dared and died in opposition to tyranny and oppression, 
inspiring a hope of political and economic freedom for the individual 
citizen, and setting a new and loftier standard of justice among gov- 
ernments. 

11. It brings together in friendly association men of the North, 
the South, the East and the West, on a basis non-partisan and non- 
sectarian.

12 WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 



THE WASHINGTON SOCIETY 

In the year 1891, a Society of the Sons of the American 
Revolution, known as the Oregon and Washington Society, 
was organized, and in a few years the membership from the 
State of Washington was large enough to justify the organ- 
ization of a State Society, and on June 17th, 1895, the mem- 
bers of the Oregon and Washington Society living in the State 
of Washington met in Seattle and organized the Washington 
State Society with the following Charter Members:

The foregoing list of Charter Members was supplied by 
the Secretary General, and was accompanied by the follow- 
ing letter: 

OFFICE OF 

SECRETARY GENERAL AND REGISTRAR GENERAL 
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION 

Washington, D. C, February 16, 1916. 
Mr. G. E. Tilton, 

Secretary of Washington State Society. 
Dear Sir and Compatriot: 

Thru some mishap somewhere your letters of February 1st reached 
me only today, and I hasten to reply. 

I find from the records that in registering the names of the Charter 
Members of the Washington Society I was guided by letter of Secretary 
A. S. Gibbs, dated September 18, 1895, giving me the names of 33 per- 
sons demitted from "Oregon and Washington Society" and other States, 
and 22 persons (57 in all) whose papers I had approved in July and 
September. 

It was in this list that the Society was fully authorized by the 
President General in October, 1895. 

Nathan Beman's paper, No. 58, was not then quite satisfactory, but 
was made good later. 

Rev. A. N. Thompson's demit from Ohio had not then arrived, 
though he was elected Vice-President. He became No. 60. 
No. 59, A. L. Valentine, was acted on November 25, 1895. 
Those marked (*) in the list enclosed were the 21 who were duly 
qualified to act at the temporary organization June 17, 1895. 

Very truly yours, 

A. Howard Clark, 
Secretary General and Registrar General. 

The first President of the Society was Col. S. W. 
Scott, and a date for the annual meeting of the Society 
was fixed as February 22nd of each year, the first annual 
meeting being held on February 22nd, 1896. The custom of 
the Society has been to hold the business meeting in the 
afternoon of February 22nd, and this is followed in the 
evening by an annual banquet at which patriotic toasts are 
offered and responses made. 

It is, we think, unnecessary to detail the action of the 



16 WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 

Society for years which have elapsed since its organization. 
Very early in its history, the Society adopted the plan of 
having the students of the High Schools in the various cities 
of the State in which Chapters of the Society have been 
formed compete annually for prizes. At the present time the 
cities of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, North Yakima, Hoquiam 
and Olympia are in the contest. To the High Schools of each 
city are awarded two prizes, one of ten dollars and one of 
five dollars. Where there is more than one High School in 
the city, the orations are prepared by the students and sent to 
a committee and from the orations submitted a sufficient num- 
ber are selected for delivery in public, and from those which 
are delivered in public the prize winners are selected. Where 
there is only one High School in a city, all the orations are 
delivered in public. 

In the year 1909, with the able assistance of the Daugh- 
ters of the American Revolution, the State Society erected on 
the grounds of the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition, being 
the grounds of the State University at Seattle, a flag pole 
consisting of a single stick one hundred ninety-five feet high. 
In recent years the State Society has taken part in the patri- 
otic parade on Memorial Day. At the present time our So- 
ciety is taking very active part in the teaching of aliens their 
duties as citizens of the United States and how to acquire 
citizenship. 

At the National Congress held in Portland, Oregon, July 
19-20, 1915, the Traveling P>anner was awarded the Wash- 
ington State Society, having been won by making the largest 
net percentage increase in membership of all the State So- 
cieties for the year ending March 31, 1915, with a net gain 
of 31 per cent. 

The Washington State Society was honored at that Con- 
gress by the election of Dr. Samuel Judd Holmes, of Seattle, 
to the position of Vice-President General of the National 
Society. 

During the year of 1914 more new members were added 
to our Society than in any previous year in our history, and 
the Society has never been in a more flourishing condition 
than it is at present.

SPOKANE CHAPTER 

Spokane 

Spokane Chapter (No. 1) was organized February 1st, 
1894, as a Chapter of the Oregon and Washington Society of 
the Sons of the American Revolution, and on the organization 
of the Washington Society Sons of the American Revolution 
continued as Chapter No. 1 of the State Society. The charter 
members were Arthur W. Doland No. 6, Egbert Tangier Smith 
Steele No. 50, Kirkland K. Kutter, William Howell Maxwell 
No. 39, John Kennedy Stout No. 2, Henry Martyn Hoyt No. 33, 
and J. C. McKinstry, The information furnished to the writer 
for this Register consists of the foregoing and a list of the 
present members of the Chapter. Inasmuch as the members 
of the State Society are published elsewhere in this Register, 
it is not thought advisable to insert the names of the members 
of the Spokane Chapter here. 

It is, therefore, possible only for us to say that the Spo- 
kane Chapter is in a flourishing condition and contains the 
names of the leading citizens of Spokane in its membership, 
and that the membership of the Spokane Chapter makes its 
presence in the City of Spokane felt.

SEATTLE CHAPTER 

Seattle 

This Chapter (No. 2) was also originally organized as a 
chapter of the Oregon and Washington Society. The charter 
members were Ell Stone Smith No. 11, Robert G. Strndwick No. 
108, Arthur S. Gibbs, No. 3, George Alexander Virtue No. 52, 
Arthur Elwood Hanford No. 30, Edgar Ray Butterworth No. 
17, Frank Hanford No. 28, Carlisle Paterson Blanchard No. 15. 
On the organization of the Washington State Society, this 
chapter became Chapter No. 2 of the Washington State 
Society. 

In the year 1896 this Chapter observed Bunker Hill Day 
and Flag Day. In the year 1897 the Chapter presented to 
the High School of Seattle a portrait of George Washington 
and a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, and ob- 
served patriotic services on the Fourth of July at the First 
Presbyterian Church. In 1898 the Chapter observed Ticon- 
deroga Day and Flag Day. At the annual meeting of the 
Chapter in 1900 Hon. Charles Delaus Emery was elected 
President of the Chapter, and died shortly thereafter. Owing 
to the fact that none of the other officers assumed any re- 
sponsibility, there was no meeting of this Chapter until March 
19, 1901, and in this year Lexington Day was celebrated. 

Beginning with the year 1905, Seattle Chapter has had 
an active life and has held meetings nearly every month in 
every year, patriotic subjects being discussed at these meet- 
ings In April, 1912, the Chapter presented a facsimile of 
the Declaration of Independence to each of the following 
educational institutions in Seattle: 

University of Washington 

Adelphia College 

Ross Seminary 

Mercer Island Parental School 

Holy Names Academy and Normal School 

Immaculate Conception School 



50 WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 

Sacred Heart School 
Ballard High School 
Broadway High School 
Franklin High School 
Lincoln High School 
Queen Anne High School 
West Seattle High School 

During this year and also during the years 1913 and 1914, 
Memorial Day, Flag Day, Bunker Hill Day, Lexington Day 
and other anniversaries of .the events of the American Revo- 
lution have been commemorated. 

This Chapter never was in a more flourishing condition 
than at the present time.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON CHAPTER 

Tacoma 

This Chapter (No. 3) was the first organized under the 
auspices of the Washington State Society (proper), and was 
organized February 20, 1896. 

The charter members were : 

No. 

Rev. Arthur Newton Thompson (310) 60 

George B. Blanchard 61 

Harrison Gardner Foster _ _ 73 

George Hunt Walker 77 

Robert Gile Walker 78 

Walter Marsh Bosworth 80 

Benjamin Looker Harvey 31 

During the years 1896 and 1899 inclusive, this Chapter 
was very active — held frequent meetings, generally at the 
houses of some of the members, and had a delightful social 
history. The various events of the Revolution were commem- 
orated from time to time. From the years 1900 to 1907 there 
was not much activity in the Chapter, but from the year 1908 
to the present time the activities of this Chaf)ter have been as 
they were previous to 1900, and the various Revolutionary 
anniversaries have been observed. One event which we think 
should be especially mentioned as a part of the history of the 
Chapter is the procuring of four trees from the home of 
Washington at Mount Vernon and preseting them to the 
Washington School at Tacoma. 

The Chapter holds about six formal meetings during the 
year. These are held in the evening at the residence of some 
member, and historical and patriotic papers are read. This 
Chapter seems to have the right spirit in its meetings, as a 
considerable portion of each of them is given up to social 
intercourse among its members.

"The objects of this Chapter are to promote and fulfill the pur- 
poses and plans of the National and State Societies; to unite and pro- 
mote fellowship among its members; to celebrate locally the memor- 
able events of the American Revolution; to encourage historical re- 
search in relation to the conquest and settlement of the Northwest;

to acquire and preserve the records, relics, and documents, and to 
mark, by appropriate and permanent memorials, those places impor- 
tant in the conquest and settlement of the Northwest; to foster true 
patriotism; and to maintain and defend those institutions fostered by, 
and bequeathed to us by, the Forefathers of this Republic." 

This Chapter has held meetings monthly and at present 
has a live membership of fifteen with about ten eligibles lin- 
ing up for early application. We are making a systematic 
study of pioneer conditions in the Northwest. At the October 
meeting Hon. A. J. Splawn, Mayor of North Yakima, gave an 
extremely interesting history of the Yakima Indian troubles, 
having obtained his information at first hand from conversa- 
tions with the chiefs and head men during the past twenty- 
five years. 

On April 20th, 1914, the Chapter had a dinner in celebra- 
tion of Lexington Day.

58 WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 



HENRY MOSS BOUTELLE 

(The only member of the Washington State Society Ijilled in batfle) 

Henry Moss Boutelle was born June 17, 1875, at Van- 
couver, Washington. On July 9, 1898, he was appointed Second 
Lieutenant and was assigned to the Third U. S. Artillery. He 
was killed in action at Iliaga, Philippine Islands, November 
2, 1899. 

The following appreciation of Lieutenant Boutelle has 
been received by the Committee on Publication : 

San Francisco, California, August 11, 1914. 

Anything I may say of the military life of Lieutenant 
Henry M. Boutelle, Third Artillery, who died in action with 
the Insurrectos at Iliaga, P. I., November 2, 1899, while gal- 
lantly leading his men against ten times their number, or in 
the thirty-two actions in which we participated together, would 
be merely to induce greater love and devotion to duty in the 
minds of the sons of our country. * * * ^i^j ^q acquire 
that which made him without exception the best example I 
have known of what a clean, self-respecting, considerate, pains- 
taking, devoted son, courtly gentleman and gallant soldier 
should be. 

I was First Sergeant of his Battery at the outbreak of 
the Philippine Insurrection of February 2, 1899, and subse- 
quently we served together as officers in command of Macabebe 
Scouts for Generals Lawton and Young. 

The Macabebe Scouts were composed of ex-soldiers of 
Spain, thoroughly amenable to discipline, blood enemies of 
the Insurrectos, and only needed men like Henry Boutelle to 
lead them. They were critical, watched their officers closely, 
and the result of this observation was indicated by their con- 
duct under them while in action. The degree of loyalty that the 
conduct of Henry Boutelle created in them may be learned 
from the gallant fight against overwhelming odds on November

2nd, not only before his death but afterwards in protecting and 
carrying his body thirteen miles to Cabanatuan. With the 
body of Lieutenant Boutelle and the wounded on litters, the 
remnant of this detachment fought its way eleven miles to 
the Rio Grande River through overwhelming numbers of in- 
surrectos. 

Lieutenant Boutelle's father was his ideal of a soldier, 
and nothing pleased him more than when he learned that his 
father's brother officers, or old troopers compared favorably 
his conduct with that of his father. 

He was absolutely fearless in action, cool and resourceful. 

The men of the Third Artillery loved him. 

Lieutenant Boutelle's military record is replete with the 
estimate his superiors placed upon his services. 

General Barry spoke of the magnificent work he had been 
performing; that ''his loss was a great shock to all of us and 
was universally regretted. 

"He was as fine a young soldier as ever lived; cool, gal- 
lant and resourceful in action and beloved by all. He was 
killed while leading his company of Macabebe Scouts." 

Major General Kobbe, retired, in a letter to Major Frazier 
A, Boutelle, father of Lieutenant Henry Moss Boutelle, in- 
cluded the following: ''I was very fond of your son and kept 
him with me as long as I remained at Malolas, though he was 
eager to join the Macabebes. When I heard of his death I 
thought of his mother and you; 

"He was a good soldier — the better for his pure heart and 
kindly nature — and he died, as he lived, a gallant gentleman." 

Brigadier Clarence W. Edwards, Adjutant General to 
General Lawton, spoke of him as follows: "I know of no 
young officer in the whole army corps who had a better official 
and personal record ; and even those of us in the First Division 
who had not the pleasure of knowing him, were completely 
done up at the news of his death," 

His record on file in the War Department will show that 
he was recommended for cool and conspicuous gallantry in ac- 
tion in the battles of Tondo, February 4, 1899 ; La Loma, Feb- 
ruary 5, 1899; Caloocan, February 10, 1899; Malinta, March 



60 WASHINGTON STATE SOCIETY 

25, 1899 ; Polo, March 26, 1899 ; Marilao, March 27, 1899, and 
Malolas, April 1, 1899. 

He was also recommended for a brevet for distinguished 
gallantry in action on October 18, 1899, and this distinguished 
service was further commemorated by naming in his honor a 
battery in the Harbor of San Francisco, California, and a 
steamer of the Quartermaster Department in the Harbor of 
Boston, Massachusetts. 

Three Americans and four Spaniards were honored by the 
Macabebe tribe by having a plaza, a street or river in the city 
and province of Macabebe named for them. Lieutenant Henry 
Moss Boutelle was one of the Americans thus honored. 

Henry Boutelle welcomed the privilege of dying for his 
country. He reflected honor on his country, his parents and 
his name. 

Many strive, without success, for more than the allotted 
four score years and ten to accomplish what he did in his 
short life.

Captain and Acting Judge Advocate,
